[QUOTE]Originally posted by Firewall: [QB] The original folks of southern arabia. The names are right here to clear up somethings. History The ancient Sabaean Kingdom established power in the early 1st millennium BC. It was conquered, in the 1st century BC, by the Ḥ imyarites. After the disintegration of the first Himyarite Kingdom of the Kings of Saba' and Dhū Raydān, the Middle Sabaean Kingdom reappeared in the early 2nd century. The Sabaean kingdom was finally conquered by the Ḥimyarites in the late 3rd century and at that time the capital was Ma'rib. It was located along the strip of desert called Ṣayhad by medieval Arab geographers, which is now named Ramlat al-Sab`atayn. The Sabaean people were South Arabian people. Each of these had regional kingdoms in ancient Yemen, with the Minaeans in the north in Wādī al-Jawf, the Sabeans on the south western tip, stretching from the highlands to the sea, the Qatabānians to the east of them and the Ḥaḑramites east of them. The Sabaeans, like the other Yemenite kingdoms of the same period, were involved in the extremely lucrative spice trade, especially frankincense and myrrh. They left behind many inscriptions in the monumental Musnad (Old South Arabian) alphabet, as well as numerous documents in the cursive Zabūr script. _________ See they had a script called south arabian,not arabic. Nabataeans. Getting back to this part. So for above the true arab part could mean or could interpreted has native arabian. If that's the case then most of the Nabataeans could have been black. Folks and scholars seem to get the two mixed up,arab and arabian. They have called on tv the queen of sheba a arab. Meaning- not black :rolleyes: She was arabian, a sabean,a true native, not a arab. Quote- Starcky identifies the Nabatu of southern Arabia (Pre-Khalan migration) as their ancestors. However different groups amongst the Nabataeans wrote their names in slightly different ways, consequently archeologists are reluctant to say that they were all the same tribe, or that any one group is the original Nabataeans. _______ It looks like they could have been from varied origins,the south,northeast, north etc.. A mixture of arabian and arabs. So it's not clear who was the major group by the time the civilization came about there,But AGAIN it's said that they are true arabs so that WOULD MEAN TO most were not black or arabian. So i will not go that much further with that one. Others could say what's going on there. I WOULD like see the dna info of course to get a good idea. [/QB][/QUOTE]
